No Easy Answer
No easy answers
come to me
that i can see
No easy answers
were close at hand
when I began
to ask the questions one by one
so all the loose ends stay undone
An easy answer
could help me out
relieve my doubt
Is there an answer
or will I be
never to see
the light that shines at journey's end
or will I just go around again
You know it's always easy to say
you've gotta take it day by day
but sometimes it can be hard...
You know the answer's undefined
It's only ever in your mind.
You are the One
When I'm on my own
and out of my mind
I realise how I've grown,
and changed my old line.
Learning how to give
and not be afraid,
of the place where I live
and mistakes I have made.
You are the one
changing my life.
You are the one
making it right.
You are the one
warming my nights -
You are the one.
You are the one
giving me all.
You are the one
opening doors.
You are the one
hearing my call -
You are the one.
looking 'round I can see
you are still here
Not in sight but in me
your being appears.
Heroes
Image of mine are you just a myth?
Aiming for the stars and a need to exist
Singing your life to its final bar,
Staging all the scenes to avoid who you are.
Idol of mine will you lead me on?
Build for me the dreams that I'm longing to own.
make me secure - be my fallacy.
You are all my world if for only today.
And live for evermore...
Heroes I call for you!
Legend to feed my heart and soul.
Heroes I cry for you!
Legend will bleed your heart or soul.
Lullabye
This is just a song
to help you through the night
just like a
lullabye.
And if you're not strong
and everything ain't right,
this is my lullabye.
Maniac
One day I'm up next day I'm down,
I run
from duck to dawn.
The paranoia seizes me
the nightmares carry on.
I'm looking on the bright side
You're looking on the wrong side
You really don't know which side
A devious dream in my mind.
But there is no way out and yesss
the dye is casting thin
Between the line and razor edge
They crystalise the end.
I'm looking on the dark side
You're looking on the outside
You'll never know what's inside
A face to erase what you find
I know what I'm doing
I'm feeling so fine now
Sorry I worried you.
Thumbs up truly,
I'm okay I though today
I haven't had a drink for, say,
an age, and yes I'm feeling fit
a day in which I'm never sick
with both ends on the candle lit.
There is no way out and
I can never be my friend.
The enemy i fear is me,
so where does it all end...
Camelogue
Standing on the crosswalk -
wonder which direction to go.
Listen to the smalltalk -
claiming how they told me so.
I improvise,
have to keep going for the song and the road.
A lonely rise,
now I'm relying on a song of my own.
Early on detected -
Trouble had divided in two.
Acting unaffected -
reflecting on the things I do.
A solo rise,
have to keep going for the song and the road.
Temptation sighs,
leave us a memory we've loved and known.
Fighting the lead -
I was so confused
feeling so accused.
A solo rise -
have to keep going for the song and the road.
Temptation sighs,
leave us a memory we've loved and known.
What can I do?
Today's Goodbye
Closing my eyes reliving a time when love was strong -
Feelin' your change of heart a sign when love went wrong -
I'm tired of analysing everything you say,
Trying to hold on to what went before the day,
we threw it away.
It seems now there isn't any need to keep hangin' on -
The mood in the night of a lonely room has gone on too long
-
I've looked from every angle I have found and yet,
Trying to hold on and pick up the pieces we've left
or try to forget.
Today's
(A last chance to decide)
Goodbye
(Unless you change your mind)
And I won't ask again
I never could pretend.
Today's
(A last chance to decide)
Goodbye
(Unless you change your mind)
But I won't ask again,
Oh no,
No I won't ask again.
I've looked from every angle I have found and yet,
Trying to hold on and pick up the pieces we've left
or try to forget.
A Heart's Desire
The light is fading
The cause invading
all the hopes that you were building
on tomorrow
Now you must go.
So stretch your wings,
as nature sings
her farewell lullabye to soothe you
through the changes
When you must go.
The gift is knowing
your strength in going
when the time has gone beyond
your heart's desire,
and you must go.
